NEW YORK, March 25,
2013 – Hearst Corporation today announced the winners of the third
Hearst 8 X 10 Photography Biennial, an international competition that
recognizes the work of eight up-and-coming artists whose vision will shape the
future of the creative media landscape. Winners were selected by some of the
world’s foremost photographers, gallery owners and magazine professionals. The
2013 Hearst 8 X 10 Photography Biennial garnered more than 1,600 entries from
across the U.S. and 78 additional countries. The winning photographs will be
revealed at a gallery celebration at Hearst Tower on April 2.

This year’s winners and honorable mentions hail from the
United States, Bangladesh, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and the
U.K. The work of these talented newcomers, who are spotlighted as the next
generation of emerging photographers, will be showcased in two exhibition
spaces in the atrium of Lord Norman Foster’s Hearst Tower, Hearst’s acclaimed
New York City headquarters. The Tower’s Alexey Brodovitch Gallery and Hearst
Gallery will feature an installation of approximately 100 photographs from
April 2 through August 31, 2013. Hearst will also publish both digital and
print catalogues showcasing the winning images.

“Great photography is essential to what we do at Hearst, and
over the years we’ve published the work of legendary artists, from Richard
Avedon and Lillian Bassman to William Klein and Mary Ellen Mark,” said Hearst
CEO Frank A. Bennack, Jr. “I’m delighted to recognize these emerging
photographers—it will be wonderful to see where their art takes them.”
